Ann Liu’s Personal Blog Online

Greet­ings All,

I can’t believe July 2008 almost over, time pass so fast!! Half of the year is already gone, 2009 is just right in the cor­ner, think about that – scare!

If you read last week MBA Digest, you prob­a­bly still remem­bered I shared with you about one of the most widely used open source CMS Joomla, a one-stop solu­tion for begin­ners, inter­me­di­ates, experts and clients.

I know Joomla is a pow­er­ful CMS, and I have been think­ing of some time already to install one for my per­sonal blog. The other day after I saw this great pack­age is on sell, I bought it immediately.

Then I reg­is­ter a domain, fol­low the instruc­tion that come with the pack­age — set up the SQL data­base, fin­ished the con­fig­u­ra­tion, and upload one of the Joomla theme files to my server.

Unfor­tu­nately, I got bit prob­lem after fin­ished the pre-installation, when I try to login from the back office of the site, the login name and pass­word did not match. After I tried few times it still didn’t work, to save time, I decided to ask for help from cre­ators Rito­ban, he is very help­ful and replies my email fast and helps me sort out the prob­lem

Okay, here is my blog site: www.annliublog.com. This is my per­sonal blog, so I will make it more ‘Me’ instead of busi­ness like. In the other words, you are going to learn more about me in this web­site, please stop by drop me some notes and let me know how do you think about it.

Beside that, I have posted Affsphere Arti­cle Syn­di­ca­tion Rise Your SERP Posi­tion that helps you to achieve highly tar­geted traf­fic to your web­sites or blogs.

And I also posted this Web­me­dia Toolkit, a really cool col­lec­tion of pho­tos, icons, clip-art, fonts, graph­ics, music and all sorts of cool stuff for web­mas­ters like you to use. The pack­age will help you become the author­ity in your niche faster.

Since the Inter­net began to gain pop­u­lar­ity, enter­pris­ing Inter­net users have found ways to make money online. As you know one of the best and eas­i­est ways to make money online is by writ­ing one or more blogs.

Blog writ­ers post a new blog every day or few times a week. They write about things that relate to a par­tic­u­lar topic. Some blogs are about a person’s own life (like the one I just set up few days ago) while other blogs are on a spe­cific topic like pol­i­tics, sports, diet­ing, or enter­tain­ment. There are lit­er­ally hun­dreds – and prob­a­bly thou­sands – of blog top­ics on the Inter­net right now.

Writ­ing a blog can be a lot of fun depend­ing on whether you like to write or not. How­ever, regard­less of that, you still can get a lot of ben­e­fits from blog­ging. Writ­ing a blog can estab­lish you as an expert in a niche and it will ulti­mately lead to your success.

Speak­ing of which con­tent man­age­ment sys­tem to use for your blog, many peo­ple pre­fer Word­Press among the other plat­form because there are more things blog oper­a­tors can do with it.

How­ever, some peo­ple believe Blog­ger is eas­ier to use. The one good thing about Blog­ger is that it is runs by Google so you can auto­mat­i­cally place Google ads on your blog to make some instant money.

How­ever, if you pre­fer Word­Press, to make your blog­ging process sim­ple, to get great search engine rank­ings and free traf­fic from your blog posts and mak­ing money from it, this is the video you have to watch. It is free and you can find lots of good blog­ging tips from there.

Okay, that’s all for this week.

Happy blog­ging – till next time

Cheers
Ann
